The bill to make an appropriation of
lands for the benefit of the Santa Fe
Canal, pubic improvement which was
inaugurated and completed without a
particle of aid from the State. and which
has now been in operation several years
and has fully demonstrated its claims TO
usefulness, Will be before the House this
week and no opposition to its passage
has as yet been developed, all who have
examined the circumstances joining in
approval of it.
The Jacksonville Charter bill was
amended i'm the Senate yesterday, by re-
inserting the provision for a Board of Po-
lice Commissioners, who shall have the
exclusive right of appointing the police,
but subject to supervision by thSmayor.
1t is now in the House, and an effort
will be made to get it through out of its
regular order.
Mr.. Hind, of Putnam, in a recent let
ter to THE PALATKA News, seems To
have taken offense at my manner of
stating the status of the Palatka Charter
bill. 1 merely mention it here to say
that although MIR. Hind seems to be anx-
ious i'm his letter to create the impression
that he has had nothing to do with the
bill or the proposed amendment, changing
the proposed salary of the mayor from
$25 to $50 per month. the facts are that
he appeared before the House Commit
tee, shortly after the Senate Bill No. "A
was referred to them, and urged the
| adoption by the committee of this very
amendment, while the committee, out
| of Difference to him as the member from
Putnam, and without, perhaps, reflect
ing that the bill, as it came from III,
Palatka Board of Trade, might be sup
posed to embody the desires of the citi
zens, expressed through that body
agreed to and did report the amend
ment. 1t will, of course, come up il
open session, and be subject to such dis
position As the people of Palatka ma,
see fit to indicate, for i'm a matter of de
tail like this, due Difference should be-
and will be, paid to their wishes.

The appointment of sanitary lnspec-
tor would be an excellent thing, but he
should carry some badge by which he
can be recognized and should be made to
understand that it is part of his duties
to be civil to those upon whose premises
he enters for the purpose of inspection
An unknown man in citizens clothes
and showing no badge and no warrant
from court for entering the premises
or another person is simply trespasser.

Is entitled to- as many free scholarships
in this institution as it has representa-
tives in the lower house of the Legislature.
AS for West Florida Seminary, at Tai
lahassee, it remains to- be seen whether
those in charge of that institution, which
stands upon the same foundation endow-
ment as the East Florida Seminary, and
as yet has been SO far behind its sister
institution in prosperity and effective
ness, will be able to Use the very liberal
provision made for il in the will of the
late Judge westcott, in such a manner
as to bring it up To am equal degree of
efficiency with East Florida Seminary.
The contest over the establishment of
the two normal schools provided for i'm
the Constitution is still pending. By
rights, the one intended for the instruc-
ton of white teachers ought to go To
West Florida, which has as yet had no
sort of recognition from the State in the
distribution of such favOrs and advan-
tages- The Senate has passed n bill
establishing the school for colored teach
ers at Ocaia, and this will doubtless be
concurred in by the House, as Ocala is in
the midst of the region containing the
bulk of the colored population.
NEW COUNTIES.
The latest proposition for forming a
new county Is from the people of the
upper portion of Polk, who wish that
county divided almost in two equal por-
tions by line drawn across the county
from east to west, about six miles north
of Barlow. This division would leave
both sections (or both counties) in good
shape, and make the county seat of the
new county at Lakeland.

instruction, such as will be comprehen-
sive to all. As to the cosummate worth and
benefit to I've derived, Mr.. Gillespie refers
those interested to the ladies and
gentlemen of the present class. A better
recommendation cannot be offered. Do
not procrastinate through II fear that you

Our Wealthy M en-.

Much has been said in news
papers of men who have made large
fortunes in comparatively few
wears in various business industries
Many of these articles are written
by correspondents of prominent
newspapers, and copied into others
Of lesser note. Correspondents
generally are seldom men Of bust
ness qualifications and wrongfully
picture these men and their business
as a thing of accident: this is not
the case with those we have met
We. find that where men have made
large fortunes by their own business
talent and industry they chose with
and forethought such bus
inesses as would lead to success
when handled with business judg-
ment. No man has been brought

Important Decision Affecting Tax
Titles.

A very interesting decision on
the subject Of tax titles, now
uf great interest on account OF
the large purchases Of State lax
lands, was rendered last week by the
supreme court in tho case OF L. Z.
Moody VS.. j. NJ. Hoskins. The case
was appcaledifrom tue Lincoln coun
w circuit court. The supreme
court reversed and remanded IT,.
The merits Of the case in substance
are as follows: Certain land invOlv-
Ell was sold to the State for taxes
in January, 1871, which belonged to
infants who, by the statue then
in force, code Of 1871, had the
right TO redeem the same within
one year after obtaining full age.
On April IA, 1876, that part Of the
code of 1871 was repealed. and all
lands held by the State for taxes
were declared subject to purchase,
as provided by that act by which
the State proposed to convey an
absolute title 10 tue purchasers
from it. The land in question was
purchased from the State in Deem
Der, 1878, in pursuance OF this act,
and is now held by appellee, who
denies the right of the infants tn
redeem, Ms provided by the code OF
1871. The court says: This
presents the question, can the
legislature, after a sale for taxes
under law which secures to the
owner the right 10 redeem the land,
take a way and destroy this right?
We answer IN the negative. To
Admit such a right is to concede the
power to transfer valuable rights
from one to another by the easy
process Of legislation. BY its
purchase Of this land on the third
Of January, 1876, the State acquir-
ed not an absolute title, but a
conditional or contisg gent one, which
was liable to be defeated and
Invested BY the redemption of the
bonds, by act Of April Is, 1876
This right Of redemption was
destroyed by enacting that the
title Of the State before that con-
di ional and contingent should be
absolute and unconditional. and
held free from any right of redemp-
ton. This.sis not legislation,i but
confiscation, and is beyond the
power OF the legislature. The right
of redemption as secured by the. law
in force when the sale was made to
the State, was altered by act Of
April Is, 1875, and sthe purchase
from the State took the land sub
jcct to this right"
